At last we slipped
our moorings and left Lavrion, heading down the coast to Cape Sounion where we
hung a right into the Saronic Gulf, thereby beginning the next leg of our summer
cruise. James soon relaxed into sailing mode and looked as at home on the
helm as always.

After all the strong
winds of the last week, we now had too little to sail by and therefore motored
to our intended bay. Upon arrival, however, we were not impressed either
with this or its neighbouring bay, given the sea state and the Southerly wind
that was picking up. Having noticed on the chart a North-Westerly facing
bay on a nearby island, we made for this instead. It was not marked as an
anchorage, and a large naval-looking buoy in its centre and a naval emblem on a
wall on one shore suggested that it may at one time have been in use by the
military. However, there seemed no reason not to stay there, so that's
what we did.
